Belize Development

Le Selva De LaQua is a development created in southern Belize consisting of 19.2 acres of lush tropical mountainside property located only minutes from the Caribbean Sea. If you desire a tropical climate that offers pristine Carib-bean beach’s, world renowned fi shing and diving in a friendly English speak-ing culture, then consider the following information to assist you with your investment desires.

The development offers unique fi nancial opportunities to acquire ownership of teak trees in a plantation and build homes overlooking the teak plantation with your own river and waterfalls fl owing through the development. All of this is located minutes away from Dangriga, which is the largest coastal town in southern Belize.

After living and working in Belize for many years, I have aquired numerous friendships and business contacts. Shown above is a family who lives next to the development. On the other side of the development resides the owner of a large citrus plantation. Shown below are others who live in the area. The people of Belize are kind, peaceful and giving. These are just some of the reasons for the rush of Americans investing in and moving to Belize.

It was a natural progression to become involved with the many opportunities available in Belize. This decision was made after visiting several times and researching different opportunities over a period of several years. The picture above is taken from the raw land in its original undeveloped state.

After multiple surveys and permits different areas were strategically cleared which are currently home site’s, walkways and sitting areas along the way to the river and waterfalls. The picture on the lower left shows a walking path in the early stages of the developement. The picture on the lower right shows current walking paths that are being constructed.

As you can see from above, there is a strong and constant fl ow of water which runs through the home site lots.

The picture below on the left is a before shot of the road and the picture on the right shows the progress that has been made in widening and resurfacing the roadway.

The process continues of developing La Selva De LaQua into a working teak plantation and ideal vacation destination. Come be a part of the journey!

LaQua Plantations International LaQua Plantations International Teak ReturnsTeak Returns

Teak plantations offer one of the best values and highest yields in the timber sector. As a high-per-forming niche segment of the broader hardwoods sector, teak is best managed by smaller privately owned hands-on companies, as opposed to remote multinational operators. This allows for better quality and improved returns. (A teak plantation investment in Belize offers optimal soil and cli-mate conditions for maximum yield). A US$10,000 investment gives you a personal stake in 200 teak trees. In approximately 20 years, the typical return on US$10,000 is over US$200,000.

This conservative estimate is based on the historical appreciation in the value of teak and the pro-jected future demand (shown in the table below). The trees are regularly pruned to provide higher quality grain with fewer knots. The plantation is thinned (select trees harvested) to create more space for the existing larger trees. This process occurs multiple times between years 5 and 17, and the returns from these harvests yield an annual return of 11% and total return of over 500% of the initial investment.

The remaining trees reach full maturity in approximately 20 years. The projected cumulativereturn from all trees, both early harvests of smaller trees and the mature trees, is approximately20 times the initial $10,712 commitment, or $202,670. One of the major differences betweenteak and other commodities is that trees continue to grow regardless of market conditions. Teakhas a solid history of sustained value and reliable returns, including a positive correlationbetween the increase in tree size and the increase in market value.This important biological factor protects and grows your wealth.

As stated in International Living, Belize is one of the best banking and tax havens in the world. No capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and no corpora-tion tax. If you join the special retiree program, you don’t pay tax on foreign-earned income. A special Belizean retiree is loosely defi ned - you can be in your 40’s or 50’s and still working, and get all the program’s benefi ts. It is easy to become a citizen of Belize.

I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to live in severalcountries in different parts of the world. While playing professional basketball overseas I lived in Germany in Europe, Syria and Jordan in the Middle East, Belize, Mexico in Central America and Australia. These experiences took place after playing college basketball for the University of Hawaii.

During the seven years of living outside the continental United States, I gained many contacts and learned the benefits of investing internationally. I do not consider the benefits of investing to always be financially based. La Selva De LaQua offers both short and long term enjoyment. The natural beauty, peaceful surroundings and high yielding returns from property values and teak plantation make this development a one of a kind investment opportunity.

Belize has so much to offer in so many different ways from the 176 mile barrier reef which is the largest living reef in the world to lush tropical jungles which contain large citrus plantations. All of this natural diversity is located in a peaceful and affordable English speaking country located just a few hours flight from the U.S. I am passionate about developing La Selva De LaQua into a working teak plantation and vacation getaway unlike anything you have seen.

I look forward to assisting you in your future investments in Belize.

My philosophy on life is to treat life as a journey and make the most of your experiences along the way.

Sincerely,
